Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 123 Xu Lin gives Yan Lingji a massage
Before long, Ying Zheng arrived at Gongshu Mansion as he had wished.

The steward was greatly surprised to see that the visitor was Ying Zheng, and immediately told Gongshu Chou about it.

Upon learning of this, Gongshu Chou's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly went out to greet him personally.

"This humble subject, Gongshu Chou, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Gongshu Chou bowed with his hands clasped.

The guards and stewards of the mansion followed closely behind, and in unison bowed to Ying Zheng.

"No gift."

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves.

Then he strode into the Gongshu Mansion.

"I heard that Mr. Xu asked you to make something a few days ago?"

"I think it's called a high-speed... high-speed waterwheel?"

Ying Zheng asked directly.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, please look!"

"That's it, but it's not finished yet."

Gongshu Chou nodded and pointed to the unfinished high-speed rotary drum cart not far away.

The high-turning waterwheel is shaped like a dragon-bone cart, and its water-carrying components are like a well cart. It has wooden frames at the top and bottom, each with a wooden wheel. The wheel is about five feet in diameter, with the sides higher and the middle lower. A groove is made in the middle to make it more uneven, so as to increase the friction between the wheel rim and the bamboo tube.

"Can it help people fetch water?"

Ying Zheng stared intently at it, asking questions as he looked.

"can."

Gongshu Chou nodded.

Then he had the steward bring over a miniature version of the high-speed rotating cart and personally demonstrated it to Ying Zheng.

The high-speed waterwheel can utilize the rapid river currents and is suitable for places where the water level is low and the banks are high.

"color!"

After reading it, Emperor Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

Then Zhao Gao gave the money to Gongshu Chou.

"Kings."

"Mr. Xu has already paid..."

Gongshu Chou said respectfully.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.

"This is something that benefits the world; how can we let Mr. Xu pay for it?"

Ying Zheng's face was as dark as water.

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Chou instructed his steward to accept the money.

"Kings."

"Although this high-speed rotary drum truck is large, it doesn't actually cost much; it's just that it takes a lot of time."

"One hundred golden feet..."

Gongshu Chou saw that the box was full of gold ingots and spoke up.

He was interrupted by Ying Zheng again when he was only halfway through his sentence.

"You think we only need this one high-speed rotary drum?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"I misspoke!"

Gongshu Choudao.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and looked again at the unfinished high-speed rotating cart.

How much longer until it's finished?

Ying Zheng asked without blinking.

"It will definitely be completed and put into use in another half month at most!"

Gongshu Chou answered.

Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

Then he patted Gongshu Chou on the shoulder, telling him to behave well and that he would be treated well in the future.

"This humble subject will certainly not fail in his mission!"

Gongshu Chou solemnly promised.

Ying Zheng nodded and left the Gongshu Mansion.

……

The next day.

The sun is setting in the west.

Seeing that the sunset was beautiful, Xu Lin left the mansion with Yan Lingji.

They did not ride horses, but chose to walk.

As we arrived at the outskirts of the city, dusk was falling.

But since it's almost summer, it's not very dark even at night.

"As far as I know, you had a master when you were in Baiyue?"

Xu Lin put his hands behind his back, looked at Yan Lingji who was in a good mood, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji, whose hair reached her waist, immediately suppressed her smile.

After a long pause, she nodded.

She didn't want to lie to Xu Lin.

"Would you be willing to switch allegiance and serve me?"

Xu Lin stopped moving forward, looked into Yan Lingji's eyes, and pressed for an answer.

"Isn't my benefactor asking a question he already knows the answer to?"

"If you didn't want to, you would have left long ago!"

Yan Lingji pouted.

Then he kicked the clod of earth in front of him into the river.

You don't owe anyone a favor, do you?

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin smiled and then asked.

"It's already been paid off."

“I used to kill a lot of people for him in Baiyue.”

Yan Lingji replied without hesitation.

A gentle evening breeze rustled Yan Lingji's skirt, revealing glimpses of her fair, jade-like legs. Xu Lin, who hadn't eaten dinner, was immediately aroused by this sight.

After more than ten breaths, Xu Lin forced himself to endure the hunger, walked to the riverbank, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Why is my benefactor suddenly asking this?

A look of confusion appeared in Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes.

"you guess."

Xu Lin suggested with a smile.

"Does your benefactor have a task for my sister?"

Yan Lingji brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and asked as she pondered.

"That's it."

“But since you no longer owe him anything, you don’t need to do this.”

Xu Lin nodded.

After saying that, he and Yan Lingji went home together.

After arriving home, Xu Lin called Li Wu to his study.

"You should go to Xinzheng, South Korea, yourself."

"Qin and Han are adjacent, and the first country to be destroyed in the future will definitely be Han."

"Buy a mansion in the suburbs of Korea and keep an eye out for Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Korea, and Zi Nu, the proprietress of Zi Lan Xuan."

Xu Lin gave the order sternly.

Xinzheng is full of beauties. After dealing with the drought and Mi Ling, Changwen Jun plans to personally go to Korea.

"promise!"

Li Wu was taken aback upon hearing this, but immediately accepted the order.

After saying that, she did not turn and leave.

"Anything else?"

Xu Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this.

"gentlemen."

"After this parting, it will probably be several months before we meet again, I think..."

Li Wumei said in a seductive voice.

Without waiting for Xu Lin's reply, she closed the doors and windows, hooked her fair wrist around Xu Lin's neck, and sat on Xu Lin's lap.

"Although South Korea is weak, it should not be underestimated."

"After entering South Korea, we must remain vigilant at all times."

Xu Lin gently patted Li Wu's back and gave her some instructions.

"it is good."

Li Wu readily agreed.

Then she tied her hair up.

She's going to have a good meal tonight!

……

An hour later.

With her hair soaked in sweat and clumped together, Li Wu struggled to get off the bed and limped toward the bathhouse.

After entering the bathroom, she couldn't help but let out a burp.

After Li Wu disappeared from sight, Xu Lin stretched lazily and then strolled leisurely to Yan Ling Ji's room.

Yan Lingji had just lain down and was about to rest when the lights were still on.

Boom boom boom!
Xu Lin knocked on the wooden door.

"Who?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji frowned slightly and asked warily.

Who would come looking for her so late at night instead of sleeping?

"I."

Xu Lin smiled calmly and replied.

"benefactor?"

"What brings you here so late at night, my benefactor?"

Yan Lingji was startled upon hearing this, and then asked.

"The wind is strong this evening, won't you let me in to talk?"

Xu Lin pretended to be displeased.

"Please wait a moment, my benefactor."

Yan Lingji said.

Although she knew that Xu Lin probably had no good intentions, she couldn't help it because Xu Lin had saved her life.
Squeak!

The wooden door opened in response.

Yan Lingji, dressed in a white nightgown, invited Xu Lin into the bedroom.

"Why are you not sleeping yet?"

Xu Lin looked at Yan Lingji and asked.

Although Yan Lingji's nightgown was made of nice material, it was very revealing and did not cover her knees, collarbones, or shoulders.

"Isn't our benefactor still awake?"

"Yan Ling Ji said sullenly."

She doesn't like formulaic answers.

After speaking, Yan Lingji sat down at the table and poured Xu Lin a bowl of tea.

Her nightgown was not only scant but also very tight, so when she sat down, her silhouette was clearly defined.

"I wonder what business my benefactor has with my sister?"

Yan Lingji added two ice cubes to her bowl and then asked.

Although it's not yet summer, she's already starting to feel hot.

"To throw a peach, to return a plum."

"It's my turn to give you a massage."

Xu Lin took a sip of tea and answered in a serious tone.

He was not lusting after Yan Lingji's body; rather, he believed that people should reciprocate kindness in return!
Yan Lingji has given him massages many times, so it's only fair that he reciprocates. It's his turn to give Yan Lingji a massage.

After speaking, Xu Lin shifted his gaze to the two 'evil' clumps that were about to collapse.
